Dominions TieTwo Games But
Still Lose Series To Lambeth
The Zurich Dominions tied the
last two games of their best -of -
five playoff series with Lambeth,
but still lost the round, six points
to two. The series was a best -of -
five affair, and either team needed
just six points to win.
Last Wednesday night in Lam-
beth, the Dominions blew an early
3-0 lead, saw Lambeth go ahead,
and then came from behind twice
to eke out a 5-5 tie. On Sunday
in Zurich they played a real see-
saw battle, but could only manage
to come out with another tie, 6-6.
Zurich 6—Lambeth 6
Before a crowd of close to 600
on Sunday afternoon, the Zurich
crew gave the local fans plenty
to cheer about as they led the
game at three various stages.
They took an early 1-0 lead in the
first, then led 2-1 and 3-2 at dif-
ferent times in the second period.
Twice in the third and overtime
period they trailed by one goal,
but on both occasions Ron Corri-
veau starred as he came back
strong with the equalizer.
Bill Taylor gave Zurich a 1-0
lead midway through the first peri-
od, when he let go a blistering
shot from the blue line. At the
14:15 mark Reg Thomas scored
his first of four goals for Lambeth,
while the locals were playing
short-handed. Eight penalties
were called in the first—five to
Zurich and three to Lambeth.
At the 4:18 mark of the second
period, Rich Schilbe banged in a
pass from Bruce Schoenhals, to
give Zurich a 2-1 Iead. Midway
through the period Terry Davis
was given credit for scoring a fluke
goal for the visitors, which went
into the net off a Zurich player's
skate. With just over a minute to
go in the session, Butch Fleet
scored on one of the nicest plays
of the game, with assists going to
Kevin McKinnon and Bill Stirling.
Only four pelanties were called in
the period, with three of them
going to Lambeth.
Early in the third period, Reg
Thomas scored again far Lambeth
to tie the score at 3-3, and then
five minuters later the visitors
took the lead for the first time,
when Larry Little slipped one by
Rick Jeffrey, in the Zurich nets.
Minutes later Tommy Anderson
scored for Zurich to tie the score
at 44. One minute later Thomas
registered again to give Lambeth
a lead, but 30 seconds later Ron
Corriveau roared right back for
Zurich to tie the score at 5-5.
The big blow for Zurich came in
the overtime, when one of the
referees, who is a resident of Lam-
beth, called a real cheap penalty
against Bob Moir. While he was
off Thomas scored his fourth goal
to give Lambeth a 6-5 lead. How-
ever,
owever, the locals were still not ready
to quit and 13 seconds later Corri-
veau came through with his sec-
ond goal of the game to tie the
score at 6-6. Even though the
locals pulled their goalie with a
minute Ieft to play, they just
couldn't come up with the winning
goal, which would have kept their
playoff hopes alive.
Rick Jeffrey in. the Zurich net
kiaytu an v'.ittinumg game, and
stopped numerous shots which
could just as easy have been goals.
If an individual star were to be
picked in the game, he would have
to be Ron Corriveau, who played
his heart out throughout the en -
in the game, saw Lambeth roar
back with four straight goals, and
then had to fight for their Jives
to tie the score with less than two
minutes to play in regulation time.
Bill Taylor came through as the
tire game. However, the entire
team gave their best and went
down trying. Coach Doug O'Brien
said after the game, " was mighty
proud of every one of the boys,
they certainly gave their best.
We'll be back next year with an-
other junior team."
Zurich 5 --Lambeth 5
Last Wednesday night in Lam-
beth, Zurich took an early 3-0 lead
hero in the overtime session, when
he scored the tying marker with
only 12 seconds left to play.
Bill Stirling shot Zurich into a
1-0 lead at the 15:15 mark of the
first period, and Butch Fleet and
Paul Corriveau both scored in the
second before the 13:08 mark.
With just two minutes left to play
in the middle stanza, Larry Little
banged the puck by Gary Geoffrey
in the Zurich net, for Lambeth's
first goal.
Lambeth came on strong mid-
way through the third period and
scored three goals in less than six
minutes to take a 4-3 lead. Thomas
scored twice and Grant Dufty ac-
counted for the other. With less
than three minutes to go in the
game Ron Corriveau clicked on a
play with Stirling and McKinnon
to tie the score at 4-4.
Midway through the overtime
session, Bruce Mitchell scored what
looked like the winning goal for
Lambeth. Then with 12 seconds
left in the session Bill Taylor
picked up a loose puck in front
of the Lambeth goal and fired it
into the open earner of the net.

Series Notes
In the Wednesday night game,
Zurich was missing Bruce Schoen-
hals, Kirk Lyndon, Mel Hohner
and John McKinley. For Sunday's
contest in Zurich they were still
short Kirk Lyndon, Mel Rohner
and Gary Geoffrey , Both Zur•
ich goalies, Rick Jeffrey and Gary
Geoffrey, came up with sensational
play throughout the series . .
Lambeth was at full strength for
each game in the series, and this
proved to be the big difference in
the two teams . Reg Thomas,
with his six goals in the last two
games, proved to be the biggest
stumbling block as far as the Do-
minions were concerned ... Lam-
beth goalie Barry Fuller made
dozens of sensational saves in the
four games played, andproved to
be another thorn in the side for
the locals . . Mel Hohner, who
was injured in the first game of
the series and underwent emerg-
ency surgery in St. Joseph's Hos-
pital, London, the same day, was
expected to return home on Tues.
day or Wednesday of this week.

4-flensall Midgets
Upset Favoured
Zurich Crew
The highly -rated Zurich Midgets
were eliminated from further play
last Wednesday night when they
lost the third game of their best -
of -three series to a plucky Hensall
crew, 3-2. Zurich had won the
first game of the series played in
Hensall, and then lost the next
two games played on their home
ice.
The two teams played a score-
less first period on Wednesday
night, and kept up the pace well
on into the second, before John
McKinley shot the locals into a
1-0 lead at the 14:15 mark. Two
minutes later Brad Pryde scored
twice for Hensall, with only 45
seconds between the two goals.
Rander Decker shot Zurich right
back into a tie at 5:08 of the third
period, but at the half -way mark
Brian Campbell scored what turned
out to be the winning goal. A
major and a minor penalty to Zur-
ich in the last five minutes of the
game dimmed the spirits of the
players, and they were unable to
come up with the equalizer.
Of the 12 penalties handed out
in the game, eight went to Zurich
and four to Hensel].
Hensall goalie Gary Clement
suffered an unfortunate accident
early in the game, when he was
hit on the head with a hard shot.
Although he managed to complete
the contest, he collapsed about 15
minutes after the game was over
and had to be rushed to South
Huron Hospital, by Westlake Am-
bulance.
`The winners will now advance
into the finals of the WOAA
Midget D series.
